Bolt-on anchor rings for chainsaw Lanyards

[Sambo]

Hey All! Hope you've had a great Christmas!

 

I was just thinking about gear and I suddenly remembered that years ago you could get a little bolt-on gadgie which would add an anchor point to a standard saw in much the same way as a top-handle. Does anybody remember these and can you still get hold of them?!

 

Happy new year to all!

I knew there was something! I though I was going mad for a minute!

 

was there ever a Stihl equivalent?

I had one fail once with a 461.  Wouldn’t risk it again

Had one on a husky a while back i think.Seemed to work alright.Took it off,cant remember why though

I like to put a  dmm boa biner on the rear handled saws so i can clip the biner onto my vault.

Or you could just girth hitch the chainsaw lanyard onto the handle.

How did it fail?

I forget exactly.  I think it was the housing rather than the clip.  a 460 falling out of a tree could have been pretty nasty too, thankfully I noticed it was hanging on for dear life prior to climbing with it.
